Chapter 351: Such an article can be called a classic
The voices of the five directions do not agree with each other, and the records of various countries do not follow each other. The appropriate texts are also different. I don’t know what the texts are, but Zhou Wenwu studied them based on the virtues of saints and the position of emperor, and built hundreds of
The humanities of the year are at their peak, and the way of heaven is to consolidate and control the world. If the Zhou family establishes a civilized system, then the world will have the luck of civilization. Those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish. This is the way of consolidating heaven, and the world will
It’s the same discipline, but you dare to be different!
The emperor of Zhou was sage, and all the books in the world had the same text, clear canons, and made the texts carry the Tao. Whether it was Lu's "Spring and Autumn" or Jin's "Cheng", all the world had the same dots. This is the way of heaven.
Then there was a change of direction.
The customs of the five directions are different, the people's livelihood is different, and the appropriate etiquette is also different. As everyone knows, it is etiquette, which was discussed by Zhou Wenwu based on the virtues of saints and the emperor, in order to open up the auspiciousness of humanity for hundreds of years.
, Heaven solidly enlightens it, and it is the way to set an example... If the Zhou family is the master of Huangji, then all generations will be in Huangji. If you follow it, you will be governed, if you fail, it will be chaos. This is the way of solidifying Heaven, and it will be the rule of the world.
Discipline, but dare to be different!
After reading to the end, Wang Ding could no longer bear it and shouted loudly.
The deputy examiner of the Ministry of Rites praised: "This article has a grand layout and is full of energy. It grasps the word "tong" to explain the situation of Emperor Zhou's unification of the world with virtue, and then divides it into two major paragraphs to explain "the same text in the book".
"And "Xing Tonglun", starting with the text and returning to the text, each link is interrelated, cleverly conceived, and rigorous in structure. It can be called powerful and elegant, with sufficient rationality and Qi!"
Wang Ding nodded slightly in agreement. He had won two yuan in a row, and his academic attainments were certainly not inferior to those of others.
"This article closely follows the word 'tong' and depicts the Emperor Zhou's unification of the world with virtue. The article is majestic and energetic, just like the Huanglu Bell, powerful and elegant!"
Chen Meng also said: "This article is cleverly conceived, rigorously structured, and elegant in both writing and writing. It is really refreshing and free, and your mind will open up after reading it!" After he finished speaking, he paused and sighed with a smile.
A voice: "What a pity."
Wang Ding was startled and blurted out: "This article is a masterpiece. I don't know why Ming feels it is a pity?"
As he spoke, Wang Ding's gaze towards Chen Meng also changed slightly.
Chen Meng appointed the director of the Ministry of Punishment as the deputy examiner of the imperial examination. First, because he was a diligent official, Emperor Chunzhi favored him and wanted to promote him; secondly, it was a consistent practice for the Three Law Departments to send officials to participate in the imperial examination, which reflected a kind of
Supervision to ensure fairness.
By saying this, does it mean that the overt and covert fighting among the examiners has officially begun?
Once selected as the examiner, there will be an endless stream of gifts and favors. Even though Wang Ding is the general constitution, impeaching hundreds of officials, and acting as the emperor's eyes and ears, under his majesty, there are still people who come to recommend themselves. Of course,
Most of the people here are from poor families, and no one blatantly comes to give money.
But Wang Ding's ability to have such confidence does not mean that other examiners have it. The main reason why power attracts people should be material benefits, and becoming an examiner provides opportunities and ways to realize the power in his hands to some extent.
Seeing the strange look in Wang Ding's eyes, Chen Meng suddenly understood. He waved his hand and said with a smile: "The examiner misunderstood. What I mean by pity is that someone can't be the first to see such a good article. It's really a pity."
The deputy examiner of the Ministry of Etiquette next to him reacted instantly and laughed: "Brother Xiaoming is right, for someone, this is really a pity!"
Wang Ding looked at the two of them in confusion. When Chen Meng saw this, he no longer held back and announced directly: "What I'm talking about is the Imperial College Leaf Sacrifice Wine."
"Oh... Hahaha!" Wang Ding stared in surprise, and then he seemed to have thought of something, and couldn't help laughing: "Master Ye loves special research, it will definitely be a pleasure if he can be the first to read this article, of course
It’s so white.”
"Absolutely!" Chen Meng and Chen Meng also echoed with a smile.
The three strange things of the strange master, the article is drunk.
Su Shunqin was named Zimei, bold and unrestrained, and liked to drink. He studied at the house of his uncle Du Qi every night and drank a bucket of wine. The envoys paid close attention to him and heard that Zimei read the "Hanshu Zhang Liang Biography" and went to "Liang Yu Ke"
"I attacked the Emperor of Qin and accidentally hit the side chariot." He suddenly touched his palm and said, "What a pity, the attack missed!" Then he drank a large cup. Then he read, "Liang said: "The first minister got up from Pi; he met with Shang.
Yu Liu, this day I will give it to Your Majesty." He then touched the case and said, "It is difficult for the monarch and his ministers to interact with each other like this." He raised a large cup again. When the public heard this, he laughed and said, "With such a drink, one bucket is not enough.
also."
Ye Kedun has the style of the ancients and likes to drink with his articles. However, as a Di tribe member, he has a small capacity for drinking. When correcting articles, he always has a corner of wine by his side. When he reads a good article, he will take a sip. If he encounters several articles in a row,
This is a good article. The Lord Jijiu really sacrificed himself to the wine, and lay down on the desk and fell asleep. Therefore, the supervisors of the Imperial College would observe the face of the Lord Jijiu every time when the results were released. If there was still a hint of drunkenness on his face
From the look on his face, you can tell that Master Jijiu is in a good mood.
During the Chunzhi period, the emperor personally selected Ye Kedun as the deputy examiner for several examinations. This was not only because Ye Kedun studied knowledge diligently and was convinced by scholars, but also because Ye Kedun had an upright character and did not follow the trend of others.
"I heard that the Holy Master also ordered Ye Jijiu to be the deputy examiner for this exam. It happened that the young master from Ye Jijiu was also going to take the exam. In order to avoid suspicion, Mr. Ye was unwilling to take up the position of deputy examiner. If not, this time,
It’s never my turn to be the deputy examiner in the general examination.” The deputy examiner from the Ministry of Etiquette said while stroking his beard.
Wang Ding also said: "Ye Jijiu is indeed very honorable and admirable." After a pause, he asked casually: "I don't know how the young master Ye Jijiu is doing in his studies?"
Chen Meng's eyes flashed: "I heard that this boy has been carefully taught by Ye Jijiu since he was a child. He has a calm personality and loves to study. He became a student at the age of nineteen and passed the imperial examination at the age of twenty-five. Such a young talent can clearly show the prosperity of culture and education in our dynasty.
"
"That's right!" The deputy director of the Ministry of Etiquette agreed: "If there is no permanent sign in a family, those who are good at writing will prosper. People from the Di tribe can also educate talented people like Ye Gong and his son. This shows that our saints from the Middle Earth are teachers of all generations.
also."
Wang Ding looked at Chen Meng and Chen Meng silently, but never spoke. Chen Meng kept paying attention to the examiner's expression and had some thoughts in his mind. After pondering for a moment, he said: "You can be admitted just by reading this article and this volume, but I don't know
How do you do with the subsequent Five Classics questions? I have to leave it to the examiner."
Another deputy examiner suddenly realized after being reminded like this: "That's right! The examiner is also a scholar. If not, please give us a little comment to see if this candidate has the talent to learn."
"Okay." Wang Ding nodded and continued reading the expanded Five Classics questions.
According to the practice passed down from the previous dynasty, the Four Books were the most important in the imperial examination. The ancients believed that those who had the Four Books could be called pure Confucians, and only those who were pure Confucians could be officials. Therefore, the Four Books were the most important questions, which affected whether the candidates could be admitted.
The Five Classics questions affect the ranking of candidates. Just like the provincial examination, the first paper determined by the Five Classics rooms is basically the top five in the examination, and is also the top Five Classics in the subject examination.
Wang Ding picked up the transcribed test paper, first skipped the Five Classics questions, and first read the candidate's edicts, judgments, tables, edicts and other practical writings. These official documents are more focused on testing the candidate's accurate expression of meaning than literary talent.
No, the writing is smooth and rigorous.
Seeing that several official documents were written smoothly, Wang Ding nodded slightly, and then turned back to read the title of the Five Classics "If you wade through the deep water".
This title comes from the "Da Gao", which is an order issued by the government to the people. The "Da Gao" was when Zhou Gong became king, Guan Shu, Cai Shu, Wu Geng united with Huaiyi to rebel, and Zhou Gong led his troops to the east.
Before leaving the army, he issued an imperial edict in the tone of King Cheng, stating the reasons for the Eastern expedition.
The original text is "I, my dear boy, if you wade into the abyss, please go and seek help from me." It was the tone of the Duke of Zhou who expressed the difficulty and danger of the situation at this time.
Looking at the test paper again, I found a sentence in this life: "As long as the saints can eliminate the harm in the world, the people's livelihood will be in peace. If it is not the saints who are responsible for eliminating the harm, how can the people be in peace?"
…
After reading the full text, Wang Ding's eyes were full of wonder.
Wang Ding gave a very high evaluation to this article. In this article, Zhou Gong "conquered the troubles", "conquered the barbarians and Di" and "drove wild beasts" under the circumstances that "the king of Zhou Dynasty was flourishing, but the legacy of Yin Dynasty was still there".
It praises his sentiment of "taking the world as his own responsibility", his lofty intentions, magnificent atmosphere, and powerful writing skills.
